Imagine Cup and Rancho Santana FC have finalized a partnership that will guarantee that Imagine Cup participants will have a pathway toward professional soccer.

Across the joint events, players will have the opportunity to showcase their skills in front of club directors. Those who impress will be invited to trials and even games with Rancho Santana FC’s juvenile and first-team squads.

Imagine Cup founders Robert Matthews and Carlos Siero stated that the partnership is a “testament to their determination to grow the sport in Nicaragua and provide its participants with opportunities to reach their dreams.”

Rancho Santana FC’s sporting director, Carlos Reyes, stated “Rancho Santana FC as a part of our sporting development program, felt the necessity to amplify our connections and discovered Imagine Cup as a project that will help us train and discover youth talent. We are looking forward to meeting the athletes that stand out in their tournaments and inviting them to our facilities so that they can continue their development as soccer players.”
